Our Motto!

Our Motto!

For every seed you borrow, try to make it a point to bring back 2! That way we can continue to share the wealth. Thanks!

About Us

 

Washburn Community Seed Bank Est. 2013. An affiliate of the Alliance for Sustainability and UW Extension Bayfield County. Hosted by the Washburn Public Library the seed bank is run by the community for the community. We support food sovereignty and self-sufficiency by providing free seeds and educational resources to anyone interested in participating. In return we ask that you help support the seed bank by borrowing, growing and saving seeds that you can then return to the bank to give someone else a chance to grow and save seeds.
